	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 411, Davis.  Local planning:  housing elements.
   Existing law requires every city, county, and city and county to
revise the housing element of its general plan as frequently as is
appropriate, but not less than every 5 years, to reflect the results
of the periodic review of the housing element.  Existing law also
provides that specified councils of governments shall complete the
3rd and 4th revisions of the housing elements of their general plans
by specified dates.
   This bill would extend the deadlines by which local governments
within the regional jurisdiction of the San Diego Association of
Governments are required to complete the 3rd revision of the housing
elements of their general plans from June 30, 1999, to December 31,
1999.
  The bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.
